One or more words may include, without limitation, strings of one or characters, including without limitation any sequence or sequences of letters, numbers, punctuation, diacritic marks, engineering symbols, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) symbols, chemical symbols and formulas, spaces, whitespace, and other symbols, including any symbols usable as textual data as described above. Textual data may be parsed into tokens, which may include a simple word (sequence of letters separated by whitespace) or more generally a sequence of characters as described previously. The term “token,” as used herein, refers to any smaller, individual groupings of text from a larger source of text; tokens may be broken up by word, pair of words, sentence, or other delimitation. These tokens may in turn be parsed in various ways. Textual data may be parsed into words or sequences of words, which may be considered words as well. Textual data may be parsed into “n-grams”, where all sequences of n consecutive characters are considered. Any or all possible sequences of tokens or words may be stored as “chains”, for example for use as a Markov chain or Hidden Markov Model.

Still referring to FIG. 1, language processing module may compare extracted words to categories of unit identifier data recorded at computing device 112, one or more categories of terminus data recorded at computing device 104, one or more categories of unit quantity data recorded at computing device 104, one or more categories of unit detail data recorded at computing device 104, and/or one or more categories of bound data recorded at computing device 104; such data for comparison may be entered on computing device 104 as described above using data inputs or the like. In an embodiment, one or more categories may be enumerated, to find total count of mentions in such documents. Alternatively or additionally, language processing module may operate to produce a language processing model. Language processing model may include a program automatically generated by computing device 104 and/or language processing module to produce associations between one or more words extracted from at least a document and detect associations, including without limitation mathematical associations, between such words, and/or associations of extracted words with categories of unit identifier data, categories of associated terminus datum, categories of unit quantity data, categories of unit detail data, and/or categories of bound data. Associations between language elements, where language elements include for purposes herein extracted words, categories of unit identifier data, categories of associated terminus datum, categories of unit quantity data, categories of unit detail data, and/or categories of bound data may include, without limitation, mathematical associations, including without limitation statistical correlations between any language element and any other language element and/or language elements. Statistical correlations and/or mathematical associations may include probabilistic formulas or relationships indicating, for instance, a likelihood that a given extracted word indicates a given categories of unit identifier data, categories of associated terminus datum, categories of unit quantity data, categories of unit detail data, and/or categories of bound data. As a further example, statistical correlations and/or mathematical associations may include probabilistic formulas or relationships indicating a positive and/or negative association between at least an extracted word and/or a given categories of unit identifier data, categories of associated terminus datum, categories of unit quantity data, categories of unit detail data, and/or categories of bound data; positive or negative indication may include an indication that a given document is or is not indicating a categories of unit identifier data, categories of associated terminus datum, categories of unit quantity data, categories of unit detail data, and/or categories of bound data is or is not significant. For instance, and without limitation, a negative indication may be determined from a phrase such as “Mar. 34, 2020,” whereas a positive indication may be determined from a phrase such as “Mar. 29, 2020,” as an illustrative example; whether a phrase, sentence, word, or other textual element in a document or corpus of documents constitutes a positive or negative indicator may be determined, in an embodiment, by mathematical associations between detected words, comparisons to phrases and/or words indicating positive and/or negative indicators that are stored in memory at computing device 104, and/or the like.

Still referring to FIG. 1, language processing module, and/or computing device 104 may generate the language processing model by any suitable method, including without limitation a natural language processing classification algorithm; language processing model may include a natural language process classification model that enumerates and/or derives statistical relationships between input term and output terms. Algorithm to generate language processing model may include a stochastic gradient descent algorithm, which may include a method that iteratively optimizes an objective function, such as an objective function representing a statistical estimation of relationships between terms, including relationships between input terms and output terms, in the form of a sum of relationships to be estimated. In an alternative or additional approach, sequential tokens may be modeled as chains, serving as the observations in a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). HMMs, as used herein, are statistical models with inference algorithms that that may be applied to the models. In such models, a hidden state to be estimated may include an association between an extracted word category of physiological data, a given relationship of such categories to prognostic labels, and/or a given category of prognostic labels. There may be a finite number of category of physiological data, a given relationship of such categories to prognostic labels, and/or a given category of prognostic labels to which an extracted word may pertain; an HMI inference algorithm, such as the forward-backward algorithm or the Viterbi algorithm, may be used to estimate the most likely discrete state given a word or sequence of words. Language processing module may combine two or more approaches. For instance, and without limitation, machine-learning program may use a combination of Naive-Bayes (NB), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), and parameter grid-searching classification techniques; the result may include a classification algorithm that returns ranked associations.

Still referring to FIG. 1, computing device 104 determines a logical route 120 as a function of lading request 108. As used in this disclosure an “logical route” is a transfer path and/or route to transfer a unit and/or article from the origination location to the terminus location. For example, and without limitation, logical route 120 may denote a transfer path along a highway and/or road to transport a unit and/or article. As a further non-limiting example, logical route 120 may denote a transfer path along one or more mediums include land, ocean, air, and the like thereof. As a further non-limiting example, logical route 120 may include one or more couriers that are required to complete the lading request, such as a first courier to transport a first portion of the lading request, a second courier to transport a second portion of the lading request, a third courier to transport a third portion of the lading request, and the like thereof. In an embodiment, and without limitation, logical route 120 is determined as a function of receiving a conveyor indicator 124. As used in this disclosure a “conveyor indicator” is an element of data denoting a client stipulation for a lading request. For example, and without limitation, conveyor indicator 124 may include a maximum cost, a delivery time limit, a courier preference, and the like thereof. In an embodiment, and without limitation, conveyor indicator 124 may denote that a courier must deliver the unit in no more than 5 days. In another embodiment, and without limitation, conveyor indicator 124 may denote that a shipping cost for a client may not exceed $400.00.

Still referring to FIG. 1, computing device 104 determines logical route 120 by identifying a spot signature 128 as a function of conveyor indicator 124. As used in this disclosure a “spot signature” is a monetary value associated with the lading request. For example, and without limitation, spot signature 128 may be identified as a cost of $720.00 over 6 days to transfer the unit from the origination location to the terminus location, wherein the conveyor indicator notes that the lading request should not exceed $800.00, and a shipping time should not exceed 7 days. In another embodiment, and without limitation, spot signature 128 may be identified as a cost of $200.00 over a 7 days to transfer the unit from the origination location to the terminus location, wherein the conveyor indicator noes that the lading request must transport the unit using the United States Postal Service. In an embodiment, and without limitation, computing device 104 may identify spot signature 128 as a function of obtaining a precontractual obligation. As used in this disclosure a “precontractual obligation” is a contract denoting one or more conveyor indicators. For example, and without limitation, precontractual obligation may denote that a contract stipulates that a cost must not exceed a price of $100.00 when shipping to a first region, wherein a first region is a geographical location identified in the precontractual obligation. As a further non-limiting example, precontractual obligation may denote that a contract stipulates that a shipping time must not exceed 30 days when shipping to a second region. In an embodiment, and without limitation, precontractual obligation may be obtained as a function of an available conveyor. As used in this disclosure an “available conveyor” is a conveyor and/or courier that is capable of transporting the unit and/or article from the origination location to the terminus location. In an embodiment, and without limitation, available conveyor may include a courier and/or carrier capable of transporting a unit and/or article from a first region to a second region, wherein transporting from the first region to the second region progresses the unit and/or article closer to the terminus location. For example, and without limitation, a transfer route may include 5 regions, wherein available conveyors may transport the unit and/or article from the first region to the second region, third region, fourth region, fifth region, and/or terminus location.

Still referring to FIG. 1, computing device 104 determines logical route 120 as a function of training a route machine-learning model 132. As used in this disclosure a “route machine-learning model” is a machine-learning model to determine an logical route output given lading requests and spot signatures as inputs, wherein a “machine-learning model,” as used herein, is a process that automatedly uses a body of data known as “training data” and/or a “training set” to generate an algorithm that will be performed by a computing device/module to produce outputs given data provided as inputs; this is in contrast to a non-machine learning software program where the commands to be executed are determined in advance by a user and written in a programming language.

Now referring to FIG. 2, an exemplary embodiment 200 of an internal memory 204 is illustrated. As used in this disclosure an “internal memory” is storage component configured to store lading requests and/or communications from client device 112. For example, and without limitation, computing device 104 may store one or more communications such as previous lading requests in internal memory 204. In an embodiment, and without limitation, internal memory 204 may be configured to identify an origination datum 208.

For example, and without limitation, origination datum 208 may include one or more streets, towns, cities, capitols, states, countries, and the like thereof. As a further non-limiting example, origination datum 208 may include one or more addresses, longitudes, latitudes, and/or geographical markers. In an embodiment, and without limitation, origination datum 208 may include an address of a vendor and/or client. Internal memory 304 may be configured to determine a progression vector 212. As used in this disclosure a “progression vector” is a data structure that represents one or more a quantitative values and/or measures progression. A vector may be represented as an n-tuple of values, where n is one or more values, as described in further detail below; a vector may alternatively or additionally be represented as an element of a vector space, defined as a set of mathematical objects that can be added together under an operation of addition following properties of associativity, commutativity, existence of an identity element, and existence of an inverse element for each vector, and can be multiplied by scalar values under an operation of scalar multiplication compatible with field multiplication, and that has an identity element is distributive with respect to vector addition, and is distributive with respect to field addition. Each value of n-tuple of values may represent a measurement or other quantitative value associated with a given category of data, or attribute, examples of which are provided in further detail below; a vector may be represented, without limitation, in n-dimensional space using an axis per category of value represented in n-tuple of values, such that a vector has a geometric direction characterizing the relative quantities of attributes in the n-tuple as compared to each other. Two vectors may be considered equivalent where their directions, and/or the relative quantities of values within each vector as compared to each other, are the same; thus, as a non-limiting example, a vector represented as [5, 10, 15] may be treated as equivalent, for purposes of this disclosure, as a vector represented as [1, 2, 3]. Vectors may be more similar where their directions are more similar, and more different where their directions are more divergent; however, vector similarity may alternatively or additionally be determined using averages of similarities between like attributes, or any other measure of similarity suitable for any n-tuple of values, or aggregation of numerical similarity measures for the purposes of loss functions as described in further detail below. Any vectors as described herein may be scaled, such that each vector represents each attribute along an equivalent scale of values. Each vector may be “normalized,” or divided by a “length” attribute, such as a length attribute l as derived using a Pythagorean norm: l=√{square root over (Σ_(i=0) ^(n)a_(i) ²)}, where a_(i) is attribute number i of the vector. Scaling and/or normalization may function to make vector comparison independent of absolute quantities of attributes, while preserving any dependency on similarity of attributes. For example, and without limitation, progression vector 212 may be a value of 30 denoting that an article and/or unit is nearing the terminus location. As a further non-limiting example, progression vector 212 may be a value of 2 denoting that an article and/or unit is close to the origination location.

In an embodiment, and without limitation, progression vector 212 may be determined as a function of origination datum 208 and terminus datum 216 using a classifier 220, wherein terminus datum 216 includes any of the terminus datum as described above in detail. As used in this disclosure a “classifier” is a machine-learning model, such as a mathematical model, neural net, or program generated by a machine learning algorithm known as a “classification algorithm,” as described in further detail below, that sorts inputs into categories or bins of data, outputting the categories or bins of data and/or labels associated therewith. A classifier may be configured to output at least a datum that labels or otherwise identifies a set of data that are clustered together, found to be close under a distance metric as described below, or the like. Computing device 104 and/or another device may generate a classifier using a classification algorithm, defined as a processes whereby a computing device 104 derives a classifier from training data. Classification may be performed using, without limitation, linear classifiers such as without limitation logistic regression and/or naive Bayes classifiers, nearest neighbor classifiers such as k-nearest neighbors classifiers, support vector machines, least squares support vector machines, fisher's linear discriminant, quadratic classifiers, decision trees, boosted trees, random forest classifiers, learning vector quantization, and/or neural network-based classifiers.

Still referring to FIG. 2, computing device 104 may be configured to generate a classifier using a Naïve Bayes classification algorithm. Naïve Bayes classification algorithm generates classifiers by assigning class labels to problem instances, represented as vectors of element values. Class labels are drawn from a finite set. Naïve Bayes classification algorithm may include generating a family of algorithms that assume that the value of a particular element is independent of the value of any other element, given a class variable. Naïve Bayes classification algorithm may be based on Bayes Theorem expressed as P(A/B)=P(B/A) P(A)÷P(B), where P(A/B) is the probability of hypothesis A given data B also known as posterior probability; P(B/A) is the probability of data B given that the hypothesis A was true; P(A) is the probability of hypothesis A being true regardless of data also known as prior probability of A; and P(B) is the probability of the data regardless of the hypothesis. A naïve Bayes algorithm may be generated by first transforming training data into a frequency table. Computing device 104 may then calculate a likelihood table by calculating probabilities of different data entries and classification labels. Computing device 104 may utilize a naïve Bayes equation to calculate a posterior probability for each class. A class containing the highest posterior probability is the outcome of prediction. Naïve Bayes classification algorithm may include a gaussian model that follows a normal distribution. Naïve Bayes classification algorithm may include a multinomial model that is used for discrete counts. Naïve Bayes classification algorithm may include a Bernoulli model that may be utilized when vectors are binary.

With continued reference to FIG. 2, computing device 104 may be configured to generate a classifier using a K-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm. A “K-nearest neighbors algorithm” as used in this disclosure, includes a classification method that utilizes feature similarity to analyze how closely out-of-sample-features resemble training data to classify input data to one or more clusters and/or categories of features as represented in training data; this may be performed by representing both training data and input data in vector forms, and using one or more measures of vector similarity to identify classifications within training data, and to determine a classification of input data. K-nearest neighbors algorithm may include specifying a K-value, or a number directing the classifier to select the k most similar entries training data to a given sample, determining the most common classifier of the entries in the database, and classifying the known sample; this may be performed recursively and/or iteratively to generate a classifier that may be used to classify input data as further samples. For instance, an initial set of samples may be performed to cover an initial heuristic and/or “first guess” at an output and/or relationship, which may be seeded, without limitation, using expert input received according to any process as described herein. As a non-limiting example, an initial heuristic may include a ranking of associations between inputs and elements of training data. Heuristic may include selecting some number of highest-ranking associations and/or training data elements.

With continued reference to FIG. 2, generating k-nearest neighbors algorithm may generate a first vector output containing a data entry cluster, generating a second vector output containing an input data, and calculate the distance between the first vector output and the second vector output using any suitable norm such as cosine similarity, Euclidean distance measurement, or the like. Each vector output may be represented, without limitation, as an n-tuple of values, where n is at least two values. Each value of n-tuple of values may represent a measurement or other quantitative value associated with a given category of data, or attribute, examples of which are provided in further detail below; a vector may be represented, without limitation, in n-dimensional space using an axis per category of value represented in n-tuple of values, such that a vector has a geometric direction characterizing the relative quantities of attributes in the n-tuple as compared to each other. Two vectors may be considered equivalent where their directions, and/or the relative quantities of values within each vector as compared to each other, are the same; thus, as a non-limiting example, a vector represented as [5, 10, 15] may be treated as equivalent, for purposes of this disclosure, as a vector represented as [1, 2, 3]. Vectors may be more similar where their directions are more similar, and more different where their directions are more divergent; however, vector similarity may alternatively or additionally be determined using averages of similarities between like attributes, or any other measure of similarity suitable for any n-tuple of values, or aggregation of numerical similarity measures for the purposes of loss functions as described in further detail below. Any vectors as described herein may be scaled, such that each vector represents each attribute along an equivalent scale of values. Each vector may be “normalized,” or divided by a “length” attribute, such as a length attribute l as derived using a Pythagorean norm: l=√{square root over (Σ_(i=0) ^(n)a_(i) ²)}, where a_(i) is attribute number i of the vector. Scaling and/or normalization may function to make vector comparison independent of absolute quantities of attributes, while preserving any dependency on similarity of attributes; this may, for instance, be advantageous where cases represented in training data are represented by different quantities of samples, which may result in proportionally equivalent vectors with divergent values.

The allocation code may include any allocation code as described in the entirety of this disclosure.

Referring now to FIG. 4, an exemplary embodiment of a machine-learning module 400 that may perform one or more machine-learning processes as described in this disclosure is illustrated. Machine-learning module may perform determinations, classification, and/or analysis steps, methods, processes, or the like as described in this disclosure using machine learning processes. A “machine learning process,” as used in this disclosure, is a process that automatedly uses training data 404 to generate an algorithm that will be performed by a computing device/module to produce outputs 408 given data provided as inputs 412; this is in contrast to a non-machine learning software program where the commands to be executed are determined in advance by a user and written in a programming language.

Still referring to FIG. 4, “training data,” as used herein, is data containing correlations that a machine-learning process may use to model relationships between two or more categories of data elements. For instance, and without limitation, training data 404 may include a plurality of data entries, each entry representing a set of data elements that were recorded, received, and/or generated together; data elements may be correlated by shared existence in a given data entry, by proximity in a given data entry, or the like. Multiple data entries in training data 404 may evince one or more trends in correlations between categories of data elements; for instance, and without limitation, a higher value of a first data element belonging to a first category of data element may tend to correlate to a higher value of a second data element belonging to a second category of data element, indicating a possible proportional or other mathematical relationship linking values belonging to the two categories. Multiple categories of data elements may be related in training data 404 according to various correlations; correlations may indicate causative and/or predictive links between categories of data elements, which may be modeled as relationships such as mathematical relationships by machine-learning processes as described in further detail below.

The ability to categorize data entries automatedly may enable the same training data 404 to be made applicable for two or more distinct machine-learning algorithms as described in further detail below. Training data 404 used by machine-learning module 400 may correlate any input data as described in this disclosure to any output data as described in this disclosure. As a non-limiting illustrative example an input of a spot signature and/or lading request may relate to a logical route.

Further referring to FIG. 4, training data may be filtered, sorted, and/or selected using one or more supervised and/or unsupervised machine-learning processes and/or models as described in further detail below; such models may include without limitation a training data classifier 416.

For instance, an initial set of simulations may be performed to cover an initial heuristic and/or “first guess” at an output and/or relationship. As a non-limiting example, an initial heuristic may include a ranking of associations between inputs and elements of training data 404. Heuristic may include selecting some number of highest-ranking associations and/or training data 404 elements.

For instance, and without limitation, a linear regression model, generated using a linear regression algorithm, may compute a linear combination of input data using coefficients derived during machine-learning processes to calculate an output datum. As a further non-limiting example, a machine-learning model 424 may be generated by creating an artificial neural network, such as a convolutional neural network comprising an input layer of nodes, one or more intermediate layers, and an output layer of nodes. Connections between nodes may be created via the process of “training” the network, in which elements from a training data 404 set are applied to the input nodes, a suitable training algorithm (such as Levenberg-Marquardt, conjugate gradient, simulated annealing, or other algorithms) is then used to adjust the connections and weights between nodes in adjacent layers of the neural network to produce the desired values at the output nodes.

For instance, a supervised learning algorithm may include spot signatures and/or lading requests as described above as inputs, logical routes as outputs, and a scoring function representing a desired form of relationship to be detected between inputs and outputs; scoring function may, for instance, seek to maximize the probability that a given input and/or combination of elements inputs is associated with a given output to minimize the probability that a given input is not associated with a given output. Scoring function may be expressed as a risk function representing an “expected loss” of an algorithm relating inputs to outputs, where loss is computed as an error function representing a degree to which a prediction generated by the relation is incorrect when compared to a given input-output pair provided in training data 404.
